All people looked at Elma with a certain type of worry. 

Well who is to blame them? It's not everyday you see a being that several years ago was the devil on earth, now helping you.

“So you are a siren?” asked a little kid. “I heard the sirens were the bad guys before the ships replaced them.”

“Well we were the bad guys but it’s way more complicated than that.” Said Elma lightly uncertainty. She never was a kid person.

They repaired the ships, which desperately needed it, and then regrouped. 

They decided, and more shoved Elma, in the direction of the mass hall and brought like 60 people of varying ages into the room.

Elma, who currently had 2 13 year olds sitting in her lap and who looked like she regretted coming here, was faced by many curious questions. Way too many.

“How do you fight? With a weapon.”

“Are all Sirens girls?”

“Can I join you? I always wanted kickass power to fight evil.”

“You will turn into a girl.”

“I sit in a wheelchair, maybe I can walk again after i join them, being a girl aint that bad.”

“Cultured man.”

“What is your weapon?”

“How strong are you?”

“Are your ears real?”

“They look fluffy. Can I touch your ears?”

Elma was thoroughly overwhelmed. She may be able to kill and break everyone's bones here by backhanding them but against a group of curious 3rd graders even being a siren couldn’t help.

Elma could only groan as she held her ears so they weren’t touched.

Her ears were her weak spot, but not in that sense. They wouldn’t incapacitate her but let's just say her female parts were linked to them directly.

“Please stop.” Whimpered Elma lightly upon hearing and feeling many of them trying to touch her.

“Now don’t climb her kids. She looks stressed and overwhelmed.” Andrea giggled. She then moved a 1st grader from her back and shooed away the other kids. “You aren’t a kid person huh.”

“Sirens don’t have kids and most are adults. So I never dealt with them.” Explained Elma as she calmed her rapid heartbeat. “I can’t deal with that.”

“Hehehe, you sirens are actually easy to counter.” Giggled Andrea with a smile.

Elma narrowed her eyes a bit.“You act like I can’t stand up and break one of their necks.”

“And yet I know you wouldn’t attack them because we are in a temporary allegiance.” Smiled Andrea. “You can’t go against your word here.”

“Not officially.” Remarked Elma and slumped into her seat. “And yes I won’t go against my word of not hurting anyone.”

“You said you were a siren, but a special one. Can you explain that?” Asked John as he ate a burger.

“I can tell you the not classified information.” Said Elma as she looked between the two.

The entire group kind of loosened up and thinned out.

“I can say that I’m an Enforcer, meaning a special department of sirens only focussed on obeying the orders of a certain higher up I can’t name.” Began Elma. “Most Enforcers have no personality but our chief always cared and loved us so she allowed us to have them by experimenting. Me and the others were the result of it although I'm afraid I might be the last one of us. We kept it even after a reset but that was when the network was online but now. I don't know if the others are alive because we were separated during an offence.”
